Great place but let down with service.
It's a shame England were playing on the day we arrived as the staff were totally taken up with table service in the beer garden but wouldn't let us sit at any of the empty tables in the bar/restaurant to enjoy a quiet drink. We also couldn't book a table for either Saturday night or Sunday lunch as they were fully booked. (A friend has since told me that she was asked if she wanted to book meals when she made her reservation - we weren't asked). The main pub was absolutely packed all day and night - we went to a nearby pub to eat and drink. The staff and locals were fighting in the street on our way back on Saturday night. I guess that's what an England win creates. 😆 Otherwise the hotel was lovely and the breakfast was good. We just felt that they could have made a bit more effort for paying guests with no interest in football.

Nice hotel but showing it’s age.
Very helpful check in staff but parking information was incorrect as no longer had a car park. Room was very small and could have done with a deep clean as quite dusty in places. Evening meal was enjoyable but don’t like service charge being added automatically as then you feel awkward if you want to give less of have it removed. Breakfast menu was confusing and we weren’t offered the full options . We didn’t know we could have cereals or fruit so would have been good to have that as help yourself or offered the choice.

Dales retreat
A traditional Dales Market Inn in a traditional Dales market Town. Great for a couples stay-away, especially mid week. Dining room is so popular that booking a table on reservation is advisable.

Location is everything and the Feathers is right in the heart of the very lovely Helmsley. Room was very comfortable in an annex at the back of the property. The breakfast was very good, the chef can poach an egg properly which can often be a challenge. Only down side is limited parking, although there are options for free parking at the end of the main square.

Perfect long weekend venue
We spent 3 nights at the Feathers Hotel in one of its Deluxe Double Rooms. The hotel location is right on the Market square so, in the centre of Helmsley with easy access to all of the great things Helmsley has to offer. Our room, located at the back of the main building was, comfortable, clean and well equipped, with some unexpected personal touches, such as sleep spray, handwritten welcome note. The staff were awesome professional, friendly and happy to help with anything we needed and the Feathers has a great restaurant to cap a really enjoyable long weekend stay.

The hotel was very clean and our bedroom was very comfortable. The only downside was that the hotel only had space for 5 cars. I understood WHEN WE BOOKED IT HAD ITS OWN CAR PARK.

A lovely hotel right in the middle of the pretty market town of Helmsley so very convenient for shops, bars and restaurants and close to the castle. Breakfast excellent and having dined in ths restaurant in the evening also some good food choices, if not necessarily the cheapest. The room was of a very high standard, very comfortable and spacious. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
